    Oskar Baker exists !!!

    Young backman Trent Rivers enjoyed some time up the ground, impressing with his run around the ball, as did Oskar Baker whose pace shone through on the wing.

    So this time it wasn’t necessary to conscript players from other clubs than the Demons and Magpies at their hub at Maroochydore Sports Complex.

    Highlights -

    • You can’t keep a good big man down. Max Gawn might have been nursing that injured PCL but it didn’t stop him from being one of the goal umpires.

    • Melbourne ran away with a convincing 39-point win scoring 12.8.80 to 6.5.41.

    • Suspended Alex Neal-Bullen was considered best afield playing up forward (he still has two matches to serve);

    • Toby Bedford was lively and did the damage on the scoreboard booting four goals;

    • The defence stood strong throughout the game;

    • Trent Rivers enjoyed some time up the ground, impressing with his run around the ball;

    • Oskar Baker’s pace shone through on the wing;

    • Recovering from a broken wrist Corey Wagner played well in the middle unhindered by the protective glove he wore;

    • Josh Wagner pushed off half-back to help around the contest;

    • Jayden Hunt was the carry over emergency for Melbourne in Round 12.

    As mentioned above, no mention made of Brown, Bennell or Hannan or any news on the four injured horsemen - Hore, Petty, Kolo and Nietzchke.

    You would hope Baker starts doing something as he’s running out of time for an AFL career.

    He's got time he still has another year on his contract.

    Yes Baker has 2021 under contract but it’s no guarantee.  I’d like to see get a run and I’d take him to FNQ to play either Freo or Swans.  His pace will be handy.

    Watching the doggies on the weekend and an undersized Dunkley spending some significant time in the ruck, I wondered what has happened to Kyle. Don’t believe he’s injured - does anyone have an insight on how he’s going. Thought he showed a little bit despite fitness being well underdone last year in his 5 games and playing largely in the graveyard at HFF in a poor side?

    Thanks for the summary.

    Nice of Max to show support for team mates.

    Anyone know what has become of Nev?

    How come Melbourne doesn't provide a write-up about each player? I know they're only scratch matches but still...

    It’s my understanding that Kyle had a planter fascia injury over Xmas which set him back after working especially hard overseas after the end of last season. 

    Would certainly be nervous heading into the end of the year.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
